The information set forth under Item 5.07 below is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 17, 2014, we filed a certificate of amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock to 200,000,000 shares from 100,000,000 shares. The amendment was adopted by stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock by written consent on April 16, 2014. A copy of the certificate of amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The information set forth under Item 5.03 above is incorporated herein by reference.
On April 16, 2014, stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, upon previous recommendation and approval of our Board of Directors, adopted the IZEA, Inc. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and reserved 1,500,000 shares of our common stock for issuance thereunder. Any employee regularly employed by our Company for 90 days or more on a full-time or part-time (20 hours or more per week on a regular schedule) basis will be eligible to participate in the ESPP. The ESPP will operate in successive six (6) month offering periods commencing at the beginning of each fiscal year half. Each eligible employee who has elected to participate may purchase up to 10% of their annual compensation in stock not to exceed $21,250 annually or 20,000 shares per offering period. The purchase price will be the lower of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the 1st trading day of the offering period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the last trading day of the offering period. The ESPP will continue until January 1, 2024, unless otherwise terminated by the Board.
The stockholders also approved an amendment to IZEA's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 8,386,285 shares, to a new total of 20,000,000 shares and also approved minor revisions in certain definitions and vesting terms under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the amended 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and terms of the Company's ESPP are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of both plans, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
